zombieland

Amazon Studios, the original movie and series production arm of Amazon, will add Zombieland to the line-up of pilots in production for Amazon Prime instant video.

Not all the pilots will make it to production, says Amazon. Zombieland, the seventh movie added to Amazon’s pilot line-up, will be made available for free on Amazon Instant Video and Lovefilm UK. Customer feedback will help determine which of the 13 pilots from Amazon Studios will make into full-season productions, to air on Prime.

The Zombieland movie features four survivors outwitting zombies and searching for a place to call home. The Zombieland pilot comes from the feature film’s original creative team.

Amazon Studios has begun production on six comedy pilots, Alpha House, Browsers, Dark Minions, Onion News Empire, Supanatural and Those Who Can’t. Six children’s series are also currently in production, including Creative Galaxy, Oz Adventures, Teeny Tiny Dogs, Tumbleaf, Sara Solves It, and The Untitled J.J. Johnson Project.
